Dr. The Viking's current ramblings: Dark Side of The Moon page 35

No, anything but white. Purple cultists are much better 

[Malamute]

I'm liking the thoroughly rewarding feeling that is 15mm... completing entire miniatures in a matter of minutes!

Heretic!

[Dr. The Viking]

Well, you have to bark at the same moon as the lunatics you're with....

[Major_Gilbear]

I quite like the purple/pink, although purple with white hats or vice-versa could look good too... Very Catholic-inspired:











In Spain, during Holy Week, you see processions filled with people dressed up like the pix above every year... It's quite a spectacle!

Anyway, I'd certainly avoid orange hoods, as I think at that scale it'd look like they are wearing traffic cones... 

[Dr. The Viking]

Man! Those papal Christian people are some real lookers.  


OK so today I lined up my dinosaur collection and took a picture. I know that most people on this planet are into dinosaurs, and a lot of you probably have your own collection and thus can relate.

I'm not going to take pictures of the 15mm scale ones I have as they're, well... 15mm.


First up is a herd of Tricera... let's not get into detail with the suffix there. Suffice to say that recent developement in the field has shown that what was thought to be different species (protoceratops and triceratops) are all the one and the same. I'm taking it one step further and saying that anything with 4 legs and horns goes into the triceratopii category.


The horde!


I think these are supposed to be deinonychus but I'm not sure. Otherwise they're just fantasy dinousaurs. I'm not subscribing to the whole T-rex with feathers anyway.


Looks like meat's back on the menu, boys!



And in other news; I've been doing some 15mm terrain pieces:






It even opens!


Scale


The warehouse of evil


First attempt at some ramshackle star gate adobes


Yeah, mama!


And the occasional excruciatingly boring plateau thing-a-ma-bob.


Mainly old toys added to bases-.- But that's the extent of my talent today...


So I also managed to find a colourscheme for my light infantry:



Inspired by the W.O.R.M.S.


And built a Mongrellian death worm too


It's the tail of something from tyranid 40k.


I think it'll look smashing when it's painted and emerging from the ground! Ready to eat some unfortunate individual.


Yeah! Baby! So that's it from me this week. Sorry I haven't got more done, but I think I'm between a rock and a hard place time wise...

[Mason]

Inspiring!

As always.

[Dr. The Viking]

As ever I present to you a new WIP... I hope the point got across earlier that this thread is exclusively for work in progress. Finished business will get posted in the relevant folder later.


I think I'm suffering from miniatures fatigue at the moment. I have so many projects and so little time. And even though I enjoy sitting by myself painting stuff and not really gaming, I'm beginning to feel slightly annoyed by looking in my cabinets and seeing hordes of painted stuff that I've never used.

Also lately I've started gaming a bit with janner of LAF Medieval fame and it really got me thinking that what I want to do now is have some games and stick to one genre (or three at tops) for a least half a year.

It seems the first pick will be Dux Brittanarium. We've ordered starting forces and now we're basicly just waiting for them to turn up...

Dr. Zombie and I did have a good thing going with the Skulldred campaign, but the rules were not really suited for our almost roleplaying like approach. I hope the campaign is not dead, but it seems the good zombie has been drowned in work...

OK, so, I have been trying to paint a bit also. Second World War II. Yeah! It's been quite a while but I used to game I Ain't Been Shot, Mum! quite a lot back in 2009 and earlier. This time it's 28mm Russians. Been lying in my store for ages... and now I will paint them! Damnit!



I've tried to speed up painting by using drybrushing and other crappy techniques for the initial steps. I'm not in the illusion that I would be able to paint a force in top standard and live to tell... I don't want to tire myself doing this.  

Haven't done the eyes yet, and won't do so until I get an optivisor. I tried one in Germany and I'm not ever going to bother painting eyes without one again...

[Hammers]

Looking good, Thorb!

[Centaur_Seducer]

Nice ones!
Some washing and quick highlights should bring them up to good standards

What's the issue with Skulldred?

[Dr. The Viking]

No issue! Just not an RPG.. or really a campaign game. More of a competitive  Songs style battle game. Quite OK.

Think perhaps GW LOTR would suit my gaming style better.

I use X4 reading glasses from the Pound Shop - I have an opti visor but find it too cumbersome. Once my eyesight fails further though I will be back to using it

Did I fail to mention the Orc army in the cupboard

and don't think that sneaky Russian camouflage will save you from my Fallschirmjäger...

[Dr. The Viking]

My pink fluffy clouds made an appearance at Horisont.

No body managed to appreciate it enough to have a game on them though,.   

[Chairface]

They are a lot of fun! I can see many uses for them.
